(Forbes) — Say what you will about slavery, at least the ‘peculiar institution’ kept Black families intact. That’s according to a “marriage pledge” signed recently by GOP presidential aspirant, Michele Bachmann. Representative Bachmann’s grasp of American history has never been firm, particularly when it comes to slavery. She has stated that the founding fathers “worked tirelessly until slavery was no more in the United States,” despite the fact that several of our Nation’s founders owned slaves and fought to keep slavery alive in the new republic.
